Are Berninas M&M's... in disguise?

And you simply can’t stop at one?  LOL!  That’s what someone posted this morning in one of the Bernina groups I belong to, and it just tickled me to death because at last, I have an excuse Jim will understand!

I nearly added another one myself last week, there was a Virtuosa 150 on EBay that I almost won the bidding on, but sense prevailed before I spent more than it was worth… amazing. 

The dogs have been sick again, there’s been little sleep for either of us this past week, Jim and I have been taking turns trying to sleep on the sofa, so we can let the dogs out all night long.  They are better this morning, but I rather feel like death warmed over myself! 

So today, I’m going to treat myself to a day at the computer, playing with my Bernina Cutwork software. I picked up some construction paper and have been cutting out all my AccuQuilt appliqué shapes, and scanning them into the software.  I have a little test wall-hanging I’m making out of some Moda Chocolat scraps I found in my stash… I have been working on getting all my fabric in one location, so it’s easier to find and coordinate fabrics.  I came across a huge pile of charm squares from the Chocolat line… mostly my “rejects”… the plaids and stripes.  Time to start using them up!

Before I forget, those of you that mailed checks directly to me for the raffle quilt, I have your ticket stubs in envelopes ready to be mailed out, I just haven’t made it to the post office yet.  It is on my to do list for tomorrow!  Thank you so much!

I appreciate all the suggestions for using up my old sheets.  I think I’m going to save them for making muslins for shirts… I need lots of practice and I like that idea.

I adore the wall hanging. I'd love a set of them - for placemats!
